The Orange Woodworkers’s Association made sets of quoits for the Orange City Council Occasional Care playground and president Brian Collins said they had been a big hit.
“Kids today are born with computers in their hands,” he said.
“They’ve never seen anything like a quoits set.’
The volunteer group handcrafted the wooden posts and were given rubber pipe rings from Reece Plumbing in Orange.
Mr Collins said the game had been so well received they were now loooking to make more quoits sets for other child care centres.
He said they hoped other plumbing stores could donate spare rubber rings.
The woodworkers meet every Wednesday and two Sundays a month at Ammerdown historic homestead.
